Goodreads Staffer's Summer Reading Picks

"If you love reading as much as our colleagues, then your summer fun itinerary will most likely include books. To help inspire you, we asked Goodreads staffers to share what they'll be reading this season.
There's quite a variety! With picks ranging from classic literature, domestic suspense, high fantasy, tell-all memoirs, and more, you're sure to find something that suits you."
